Went to see my primary on Tuesday--he
agreed to wean me off the Bupropion which will take about a week to a week and a half--that's the medicine that I
talked about where among it's cautions were it could cause restlessness,
agitation, anxiety and sleeplessness all of which I have been experiencing since
the operation and since I have been taking this medicine.
The week before he had taken me off
xanax and put me on lorazepam--he said this should knock me out
and let me sleep--it hasn't--I haven't seen any difference between the two
drugs!! He was taken aback by this and suggested that I talk to a psychiatrist.
He feels I have been through a big trauma and consciously or unconsciously I may
be having anxieties about dying, dying alone, becoming dependant, etc. Well if I
didn't after he mentioned all of it I did!! LOL
I have no objection to seeing a psychiatrist, especially after a
day of anxiety, restlessness and agitation like I have had the past few days.
Also my loss of appetite, not being interested in food, not being able to sleep,
etc. though not depressing me makes me wonder what is wrong.
I seem to have made a complete 180 degree turn of my personality
and who I am/was before July 21--the day of the operation--and I don't like it.
I don't like not being upbeat, positive and I hate whining and complaining, so
it is off to the psychiatrist I go on Monday at 12 Noon!!
We have a lot of crazy people here in
Ft. Lauderdale--won't tell you what I
had to go through to get an appointment so soon--I called 5 different
psychiatrists and the earliest one could take me was the last week in
October!
Will let you know what
happens--meanwhile I just might up my lorazepam to get some sleep though the idea
of becoming addicted to it (or any other medicine) scares the hell out of
me!
